Sanasaíocht

cuir in eagar

Gaolta le onn(en) na Breatnaise is ea an focal onn, fréamhaithe ón nGaeilge Chianach *ōs-, *osen, 'fuinseog'.

As Sean-Ghaeilge, tháinig uinnius[2] in ionad onn, agus ar deireadh 'fuinseog' as Nua-Ghaeilge. Molann McManus dá bharr go dtagann an lítear Oghaim siar go dtí ré na Gaeilge Cianaí.
